COD Casino

I miss this place. This casino was my favorite place to go to with my family. Cocktail waitress made her rounds but was not overbearing, the bartender was friendly and remembered who we were. You don’t run into loud or obnoxious arrogant drunk people here compared to other casinos down the street.
I hope for the best for this casino, I really enjoyed going here.

I love this place. Great local casino. When my girlfriend lived in Minden, we would hang out here and leave as winners! Wish they had this casino in Las Vegas. They also gave $ 5 free play to casino workers every Monday. Not sure if they still do that but it was a nice incentive. Staff is friendly and they tend to the guests.

I’m pretty nice and easy going but the way I was treated here for a compt. Drink was ridiculous. Manager who’s probably in her 60s needs to learn customer curtesy. Don’t need to be talked to like a infant. They say 25 cents of active playing for compt drink I’m playing penny slots by the dollar ever 3 min wtf? I’ll just buy a fucking beer it’s not a big deal until your rude.

Unlike other casinos, this is the same but no comps, like for food or… it is a nice small casino though. Management OK, employees are great. Overhead music depends. Sometimes it is loud, sometimes nice and low. Music stations vary as well. Hit and miss on what you might like. But it is rarely crowded so you would have no problem finding a machine or worry about too much smoke.

LOVE this place! It used to be an old garage turned into a casino with a lot of character. Set in a quaint part of Downtown Minden, COD boasts several gambling rooms one of which is non-​smoking. They have an all you can drink bar in these rooms and a friendly staff to boot dressed up like garage attendants.
Such a cute place. I couldn’t have thought up a better theme!

Wife and I love COD!!! Small-​town atmosphere, retro music, Len and Jason always ready to chat/​help out. Self-​serve soda/​coffee/​tea is a huge plus. Also love the non-​smoking section and its fresh air. Granted, we wonder what the policy is regarding e-​cigs, as the last visit involved a lady in the non-​smoking section using an e-​cig, and though it may just be vapors, the scent/​smell left something to be desired. Non-​smoking needs to cover all forms of smoking/​vaping.
Thank you for a great place to have fun!!!

Music is always too loud, should be background music only in a place where your customers average over 65 years old. My wife and I play until I get a headache and then we go elsewhere to spend our money. Management will sometimes turn it down but the next one turns it back up. The speaker is directly above the keno machines in nonsmoking area. Will not set for 2 or 3 hours with 1980s music blaring in these 73 year old ears. If they don’t want our money, we can stay awy.

on 6.3.2015 my wife and I drove down from lake
try luck at. the cod garage casino. on game 65 we hit a soliid 6 spot, with 3 ea 2 spots. this ticket is 4 games in one. we had to sign a tax form because the pay out was 1524dollars… why would you play a way ticket which cost 2.50 a game. so when you hit it solid you would not have a tax form… as of now i, m waiting for the general manger to call me at 1 530 721 2102… this is not good costmer service. james vaughan…

Played 20 bucks, lost 20 in 5minutes. I never won more than 50 cents. Very tight machines. No tables. just put your money in and press a button to lose it. Not very exciting at all. Also, if you join the there club, you don’t get the 5 bucks instantly like every other casino. They mail it to you… this place us not worth it… head to cvi

If your machine malfunctions on a free spin (it happened twice), you get nothing. Don’t come here.

The former auto dealership whose roots date back to 1912 has been re-​opened in the last week or so as a casino.
I’ve only been in once, for an initial walk through (as I don’t gamble and a casino has to give me another reason to stop in), and so this review is really based on a five minute tour, probably not fair, but you do get to see a lot in five mintues.
The first impression leads me to believe that they truly paid attention to the building as they repurposed it. They’ve left some office space and a few relics from a bygone era, and this part of the building looks like a moment stopped in time. The ceiling has some very nice copper looking panels embedded in parts, and woodwork looks like it’s nicely done.
Do you like blackjack or craps? If so, at least for now, you’ll need to head down the road a bit, as the only table I saw was a covered poker table. As a former blackjack dealer, I’m always hoping for the full casino experience (including an array of table games, bars, and food), but times, and interests, have changed. It may be a while before some of those games come back into vogue.
This is a slot house. I did not see a restaurant, nor did I see a waitress. I did see a bartender, and he was nice as he told me that they had no matches.
It’s early, there are glitches, it will improve, and, as a history guy, I really appreciate the effort at preserving the building. The fair thing to do will be to go back later, after the glitches have been considered.
I’m looking forward to another visit.
